Isn't this the coolest Christmas present (or miracle) for a #gdTcell aficionado?! Our latest preprint showing the role of BATF3 on gd T cells is ou on bioRxiv:

BATF3 controls the homeostatic maintenance and function of innate-like γδ T cells
γδ T cells compose an evolutionarily conserved lineage of lymphocytes, with both adaptive- and innate-like characteristics, contributing to tissue homeostasis, immune surveillance, and rapid responses...
